Railroad Matters.

CHICAGO, March 16 Representative ol
the Trans-ContinentalR Railway lines to-day
finished their tariff constr ucting labors,
having arranged one tariff based on q
strict explanation OF the new Cullom-
Reagan law, and another tariff designed to
meet the Canadian Pacific and water COM
petition. The first will be put into effect.
1t advances the present rates fifty per
cent. Attorneys of several roads are in
structed to present the other tariff to the
Interstate Commissioners, when appoint
ed and ask that transcontinental roads be
allowed to adopt it; the claim being made
that the rule strictly complying with the
law will drive railroads out of through
business. By instructions from eastern
trunk lines the Central Traffic Association
railroad lines are taking a vote on the
proposition to continue the present live
stock and dressed beef rate under the new
tariffs and classitications, and to reduce
the rate on dressed mutton from Chicago
to New York from 80 cents to IS cents.
The vote, it il ascertained to-day, will be
largely in favor of the proposition.
Managers OF the Western States Pas
senger Association met to-day to take up
the report OF General Passenger Agents on
rules and regulations to govern the organi-
zation and it's business. Much of the time
was given to discussion of the payment
of commissioners. No settled conclusion
was reached. Another meeting will be held
to morrow.

Oh, Shame!

With a chuckle, the Republican
press make the announcement that
the Republicans of the Ohio Senate
on Tuesday of last week boosted
the Democratic officers of that
body, with the exception of the
Chief Clerk, VALLANDIGHAM, who
performed his duty last winter in a
creditable manner" Among the
officers who were thus "boosted" is
Miss NELLIE O'HAGAN, engrossing
clerk. Her father is dead, and at
the time of his death was a State
Senator from the Senatorial Dis
trict of which Sandusky City forms
a part. 1t is not. intimated that
MISS O'HAGAN did not do her "duty
last winter in a creditable manner
or at any other time. A soldier
was boosted" out of office, too, be.
cause he is a Democrat. He how.
ever, can take care of himself; but
this prescription of a woman and
the exaltation of VALLANDIGHAM
whose father was bounded to the
grave by Republican politicians, is
strange. In wars of Biblical times
women were not spared. Our Chris
tan civilization throws protection
over women; but the Republicans
of the Ohio Senate, have, SO far az
they could, in the case of Miss o.
HAGAN, revived the barbarism tina
gave no quarter to women. Oh
shame!

Gals to four years, some to expire
each two years, and to have the
terms of county officials so fixed
that an election will be necessary
only once in two years. 1t ispro-
posed hat on presidential years
elections shall be held for congress
men, members of the Legislature,
state and county officials. The next
year no election would be held, and
the next year other state officials,
congressman, members of the leg
Iislature and county officials would
again be chosen. In this way the
number of elections would be re-
duced one-half and the interval be-
tween one exciting state election
and another would be doubled.
If it is desirable to reduce the
number of elections this is the way
to do it. There is no partisan
scheme in the plan. 1t is a plain
honest proposition to do what
ought to be done in a practical
straightforward way.

How to Reduce Elections,
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

It is conceded that we have too
many elections in this state. The
plan proposed by Representative
Williams of Coshocton, is the pro-
per one whereby an adequate and
practical remedy may be provided.
Instead of abolishing spring cleo
tons, which are, as a rule, free from
excitement, and involve but little
expenditure of time or money, his
plan proposes to divide up the fall
elections so that an election will
be held but once in two years in
stead of every year. If we have
more elections than are good for
US and it is the part of wisdom to
get rid of some of them, here is the
plain, practical, common-sense way
of proceeding.
Those who say we ought to have
fewer elections base their argument
on the assumed fact that the ex-
element attending them and the
preliminary campaign leading up
to them do injury to business, and
upon the further and admitted fact
that elections cost in one way and
another a great deal Of money. If
these propositions are admitted, it
follows that the proper place to be-
gin reform is with the fall elections,
for these are attended with the
greatest degree of excitement, ex-
tending over the longest periods of
time, and are certainly the most
costly of all elections. So if we
must have fewer elections the pro-
per thing is to hold the regular
state elections now held in the fall
once in two years instead of once
every year.
This is what Representative Will
liams proposes to do by constitu-
tional amendment. He proposes
to lengthen the terms Of state Off

.MnEing to Kansas.

On the question of moving to
Kansas a writer who has investi-
gated the matter says:
"The man who removes to West
ern Kansas must be able to own a
team Of horses, have money enough
to dig a well and build himself a
house, and be able to pay for his
farm at a cost of from $500 to ST.
600; and he should also have a sup
ply of provisions and feed to last
him six months. With this start,
if he is Industrious and healthy, he
can make living and in time pros
per, and perhaps grow rich as the
years roll on. But if he goes there
with nothing the chances are much
against him. 1t is a great field for
spectators who have money to in
vest. Interest runs from - pei
cent. straight to 81 per month on
short loans. Many have to borrow
money, especially those proving up
their claims to homesteads by Civ.
ing mortgages on their farms"

1t is claimed that one-third of
the saloonists in Cincinnati, while
only paying the Dow law tax on
wine and beer, are selling whisky
the same as of old. This has arous-
ed the indignation of these saloon
lists who have paid the full tax, and
in order to protect themselves and
make the thing equal all around,
they are taking measures to have
the law enforced against the sa-
loon keepers who listed simply for
wine and beer. 1t is the intention
also to prosecute drug stores where
whisky is retaiied. by the glass OF
on bogus prescriptions, as well as
wholesale houses that violate the
law.

The Democrats seem slow to "nominate''
candidates for the Presidency in 1888. They
have Cleveland, who will want the second term
yet his party don't know whether they want
him or not.-Greencikle Courier.
You are off. The party want him
and will have him. A few "bood-
lers" and pretending Democrats
like John R. Mclean oppose him
because he refuses to be used by
them, but their opposition will
amount to nothing when the time
comes for the nomination in 1888.
He will be nominated with a whirl
if he wants it, and elected too.
